OpenWrt
From LXDE.org
OpenWrt is a Linux-based firmware program for embedded devices such as residential gateways. Support was originally limited to the Linksys WRT54G series, but has since been expanded to include other chipsets and manufacturers, including Netgear, D-Link, Asus and many others. The most popular routers seem to be the Linksys WRT54G series and the Asus WL-500g. OpenWrt primarily uses a command-line interface, but also features an optional web-based GUI interface.
The development of OpenWrt was initially aided by the ease of modification afforded by manufacturers' use of software licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which requires manufacturers to release all changes made to code originally licensed under the GPL. Initially using this as a base and later as a reference, developers created a distribution that offers many features not previously found in consumer-level routers. Some features used to require proprietary software. Before the introduction of OpenWRT 8.09-rc1/Linux 2.6.25 and the “b43” kernel module, WLAN for many Broadcom based routers was only available through the proprietary wl.o module that was also only provided for Linux kernel 2.4.x
[edit] Installation of LXDE
Currently the OpenWRT team is working on packages of LXDE for OpenWRT.
